There is another alternative. At the risk of repeating what I've mentioned elsewhere in the thread, this is to not use column alignment at all. Simply use indentation in the places where you might be tempted to start lining up columns. It's really easy to use an alignment-free style. A good way to get in the habit is to code in a proportional font instead of monospaced. By doing that, you won't be able to use column alignment, and you'll naturally gravitate toward using indentation to represent the block structure of your code.
